>A trio of U.S. senators is urging support for a universal charging standard for smartphones and mobile devices after the European Union recently agreed on new rules.
>Senators, Edward J. Markey, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders want to force company's like Apple and Samsung to use a single standard for charging small electronics and make them include a charger with said devices I.E. phones
I actually agree with these commies for once, even thought I don't use faggy apple products.
Based and red pilled. Thankfully the EU moving to this is probably enough to fix it for the whole world. The EU is the one that made them all adopt USB instead of every phone having it's own cable
All mine are usb 3
>boomers keep losing their phone chargers so they force the world to all use the one they have
kek
Apple really won't like this. Surprised if this happens as I imagine they have enough of congress bribed to kill any bill
i just have all the types of chargers
I wonder if this will cause limitation issues, they've been pushing the fast and smart charge features for years.
I'd agree, if it wasn't the U.S. Government making the decision. They'll probably be bribed into forcing something weird and stupid the standard.
the charging thing is a backdoor to your device. imagine being so fucking dumb that you think a databus and charging port shoyld be combined lol. and too it iff make it impossible to swap depleted batteries for charged ones.
I use usb-c or wireless charging for almost everything. Never had a product that didn't come with a charging cable. This is useless shit meant to appeal to low iq boomers who lose their charger a day after they get the product and forget they ever had it in the first place.
>We need more money.
Whoever donates more will become the standard.
They’re gonna fill the bill with a bunch of unrelated bullshit, republicans will strike it down (because there’s no funding for israel in the bill), media goes abloobloo republicans are heckin fascists.
>makes new standard all companies will be forced to comply with as a result
It’s already happening in EU, Apple has to conform to USB 3.0 on their phones by end of next year.
They don't have to. They can buy a fucking converter. This dumb cunt will end up limiting the adoption of faster technologies and standards.
I dont use faggy apple products either but the issue here is once someone invents a newer better connector than USB C it will be banned by default,.
Although the latest fashion is phones with no connectors at all. Its all done through wireless charging and wireless communications.
Finally congress doing something for the middle class, America won't collapse now.
There is a universal charging standard, there's just one company that's gay enough and greedy enough to deliberately not use it.
No thank you
>be apple
>have same charging cable for 10 years
>get forced to change it to kike standard
jews, every time
not everyone is on the spectrum. Open standards are now good enough for all applications, there is no tech argument against it. They're just playing lock in
I agree with them here 100% too. Not only universal charging ports, but also universal USB's, HDMI and wifi standards. This shit has gotten to the point of total retardation, I have tupperware bins full of defunct and unusable cords, it seems every time I buy an electronic device it comes with some "new and improved" cord. Commies are right on this one, this is the kind of thing the government should regulate. Its clear the manufacturers are abusing consumers.
>P-please government control more aspects of my life all these shapes are so confusing for a stupid goy like me!
Yes that is the squeaky wheel that needed fixing on the American economy. We may have gotten too cocky on thte midterms bros.
Nah, government can regulate business though. That's practically the only legitimate purpose of government. We don't want to let companies engage in anti consumer behaviors.
>federally mandated standard that would otherwise be obsolete in 5 years
No thanks.
absolutely retarded, everyone has already converged to a form factor including apple which is usb 3.0 type c compatible and they layer extra Apple faggotry on top, which is kind of their thing
literally no one has an issue charging their shit, everyone is almost ready to move to whole-house wireless charging, Qi Pads, etc and these boomers are going to require some gay shit for no reason I just know
This. Besides, the market is dominated by 3 type of chargers. Is there really a need for some sort of faggy regulation?
All we'll get is a new standard that won't be universal
>I actually agree with these commies for once
Nope
Imagine if they did this when USB micro was the thing before USB-C
Fuck apple faggots, they should suffer with a different cord for being insufferable
>Muh freedom to waste my time and money on stupid bullshit that would be easier for everyone if it was standardised
Imagine if each state had its own electric outlet shape and design - you go to visit your friend a a state over and you've gotta bring an adapter - wouldn't that be an annoyance?
Yeah well I too
>Never had a product that didn't come with a charging cable
The problem is that every fucking charging cable I get is different. I have tupperware bins in my storage room full of charging cables, connectors and wires. Every fucking tv, laptop, camera, computer, printer, playstation, vape, came with another fucking cord, and NONE of them are interchangeable. Its bullshit.
this is what will actually happen
horseshit. every fucking printer, camera company and electronics product comes with it own unique cable, that ussually cant be used on anything else.
Fuck CrApple
democrats need to fuck right off.
If you're worried about e-Waste wouldn't starting with measures that prevent planned obsolescence be the best place to start. Like making it mandatory to be repairable by third parties and for batteries to be replaceable.
But we all know you don't give a shit about promoting the manufacture of products that are built to last since these corporation are funding your fake Cherokee gluttonous life style, ya fake cunt. Nothing wrong with standardization but we all know you're just skimming and and scheming off this somehow and probably wouldn't reduce much waste anyhow.
No. It wouldn’t.
They got rid of the Jews
Even before this ruling Apple had planned to phase out their lightning port because it's a piece of shit
Mom!!!! I told the sex havers I don’t like apple again!!!
>A trio of U.S. senators is urging support for a universal charging standard for smartphones and mobile devices after the European Union recently agreed on new rules.
Is that really a good use of their time and effort?
LET THE MARKET DECIDE. Buncha commies.
You're an idiot. This has been pushed so the kikes can inject spyware into the controller chips for the USB port lol
>this is what they're concerned about.
>They will introduce a "Environmental device power supply protection" bill that has maybe a section or two about connector compatibility and will somehow result in importing half of Haiti and sending more trillions to Israel.
